You can feel it above the paint surface, it's rough and feels kinda like cement stuck on the paint. Don't have any denatured alcohol, willing to give it a try though. Reckon thinners would help?

Hi, Need help getting this yellow stuff off a client's vehicle. It appears in multiple places, and whatever it is has dried on the surface and is proving difficult to remove. See pic below :)

Ok, turns out IronX didn't help much, ended up using Gyeon Water Spot Remover, got rid of it easily. Applied and used as per directions :)

Thanks, it's a client's vehicle, will discuss with her. About to head over shortly to address the issue!

Hm, right well the car is usually parked on the grass outside my client's house, so could be sprinklers. Will try IronX otherwise I'm thinking Meguiars Ultimate Compound (or similar).

Hi, This one has me stumped, washed a white Audi, and these orange splatters remained over the front bumper, side mirrors and some of the bonnet. Looks like it's started to stain the paint. Can't feel anything when I run my hand over the surface. Does anyone know what this is, and how to...

Haha 'he'... she lol, Napoleon's just my forum name [emoji14]

Yes certainly abrasive, due to the shape of the pollen grains.

Hm, yep tho it looked totally different to that, after it had rained, it was like a lot of the water beads themselves were yellow instead of clear, then when they dried, they left yellow circles behind. I'll get a photo next time. Might have to increase washing my vehicle to every second day...

I'll get some photos next time I see it happen. I travel a lot (mobile business) so hard to tell where it's coming from. My guess is might be pollen, I do wash the car at least twice a week, but do a lot of driving and the car is only garaged at night.

No idea, I can't be the only one that has this problem surely :)

Hi, I feel a bit silly for asking this, but first white car I've owned and first time noticing this issue. I regularly wash (weekly or twice weekly) my car, and use Meguiars wax frequently, and more recently, Duragloss clear coat polish. I have noticed that now we're going into wetter months...

Looks amazing man! I've got a metallic gunmetal grey BMW e30 to do similar work to next week, hoping for similar results! Fixing a terrible rotary buffer mess made by a previous detailer.

Thanks, might try see if I can source some of that "Speedy 500" stuff you mentioned, for next time. Some people recommended a plastic paint scraper to help remove the adhesive but I just couldn't, was too worried about what it would likely do to the paint underneath! Took longer the way I did...
